When I saw the moon big and shiny up at the zenith I wished I had the camera. The girl with it must be paying back the experiences I had done against her. She seemed not interested to reply a text of whether she took a snap. Her response today was as ignorant as the micro-organisms eating my body from within. No problem

Just as I slept hoping today would be a better day, the moon was bright up.
